Waiting for a roar • Aryeh Deri is back as Shas chairman of the movement

After weeks of massive pressure, deliberation and countless spins, it appears that the Shas campaign is positively resolved, with love, truth and peace. And in three words: Aryeh Deri is back.

Deri returns as a winner and will probably receive the leadership of the movement, but will give up the role of senior minister to Eli Yishai - if Shas agree to join the next government.

The compromise agreement began to take shape when officials at the home of Hgr"a Yosef internalized that this is the best step for the movement, in order to give it stability and growth, rather than the alternative of establishing a social party led by Deri – which will bite seats off of Shas, and drag the movement into an unimaginable chicken fight.

In Hgr"a Yosef's home they also know how to read polls, which has never given Shas proper credit, this time it seems that the situation was serious. And with Chaim Amsalam breathing down the neck on one side and Deri on the other side - the chance to restore the color to activist's cheeks was low.

If until today there was a disagreement in Harav Yosef's home - when some members of the house were on the side of Eli Yishai, and some were flanked by Aryeh Deri – during the course of the last day everyone came to realize that there is no alternative but to give Deri his way: movement chairman. However, Deri on his part will be required to give up on senior cabinet minister - granted to Eli Yishai

The formal decision will be probably announced on Wednesday, after the convening of the Council of Torah Sages, but it seems that Hgr"a Yosef has been convinced of the necessity of this move, and now made a final effort to get the full agreement of the parties to the compromise agreement.

But an agreement has not yet been achieved, at least not on Eli Yishai's part. Since the family members of Hagr"a Yosef have informed of the direction in change of their minds - ie consensus of Deri's return to the role of Chairman – Director, Yishai has been taking action in defending his position. On Monday he met with two members of the Council of Torah Sages, in an attempt to ensure their support. At the same a long meeting with one of the people close to Yishai took place at the Hagr"a's home.
